IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin isn’t known for his trash talk, but after hearing about comebacking ring legend Oscar de la Hoya’s claim that he could beat Golovkin “easy,” GGG fired back.
“You know Oscar,” Golovkin told AFP. “You know how dirty his mouth is. Everything involving Gennady Golovkin for him is a nightmare. He can say whatever. But let me put it this way – if I got an opportunity to legally kill a person in the ring, I might seize it.”
This is Oscar’s plan, to build up and hype a fight against someone like GGG. Of course in the end it’ll be fixed by Oscar and his judges.
Oscar’s judges? The ones that ripped him off against Tito? Or Mosley in part 2?
The ones who gave him wins over john john molina, Whitaker and Sturm.
I agree on Sturm. But that’s the nature of boxing. That’s how it was. If a megafight was getting setup a fighter had little chance of an upset. Like Callazo vs Hatton.
What!narebyoh 12? Oscars judges? Like in the two Mosley fights?
And Oscar would never make it passed round 5.
Well unless it’s a scheduled 1 round fight, Oscar can have 100 judges in his pocket….it ain’t gonna matter.
If it goes to the judges.
We’ll see in a few days when he returns if the powers still there.If it is nighty night Oscar.
It couldn’t be fixed. Oscar shouldn’t be able to survive 2 rounds with GGG
YOU CAN`T FIX A 2ND ROUND KO.
What Arturo is saying actually makes valid sense. Only a person with half a brain actually believes that all of cinnamons fights while with GBP were on a level playing field.. a few were more than shady scorecards turned in.
I used to really respect Oscar, he’s from the same hometown as myself and I like to back up my home teams and fighters but I stopped respecting this guy when he started running around in women’s panties and garter belts. He should have kept his mouth shut instead of coming out of the closet with that shit. Despicable behavior.
Just shows your intolerance for the choice of sexual preference. And his preference had nothing to do with coming from your hometown, representing his country, and making something of himself. Lets hope you got something to show before throwing stones. That something a ‘half a brain’ would do.
I agree with you NJ. Attacking that part of his life is a joke. And he would straight up smoke these trolls in a ring. I’d love to see one of them in the ring getting tuned up by Oscar. He should wear the fishnets for added effect. How about it Lopez?
Anthony: u have to remember, these guys that bring up that pantyhose nonsense crap are jus guys that troll. They have nothing elze better to talk about so they bring up an old illness Oscar had. Their worthless and they will never stop. Keyboard bullies that are lil punk a$$es in realy life. Bro, dont waste ur time
More than a comment on Oscar’s sexuality, this episode with the fishnets was the result of the confusion drugs do to you. Fuck that drug shit
You say all if his fights but don’t name one.
Marcos López, who cares if he wore fishnets. What business is it of yours. I had lots of respect for him, especially when I read that Schaefer was trying to get him to sign over GBP while he was on drugs. I started not caring for him when he started fixing These bull crap fights for saul.
Why does ODLH continue to make a tit of himself?
Hoya would look like he did vs Pacman except he would look like that after 2 rounds of GGG punishment. It always looks easy watching videos but your body just can’t do what you think the brain should tell it to do.
The ones that pay attention to this kind stuff, or don’t know s..t about boxing or just are fools. Oscar, a 47 years old businessman retired from boxing for good, is entitled to say whatever please him under legal circumstances, in order to remain relevant. What about him saying he wants to fightCanelo?
I dont believe Gggs comments. Seems out of character. Probably someone who runs his english social media account. Not credible or to be taken serious.
thought the same. def out of character.
Forget GGG, an exhibition between Oscar and Trinidad would be mildly amusing.
I don’t think GGG would lower himself to knockout Oscar.
I would LOVE to see GGG obliterate Fish Nets!!! The fact that he thinks he can hang with Golovkin right now is hilarious!! Please let this fight happen so I can watch Fish Nets get pummeled into oblivion!!
That time of the year when Oscar hits the sauce some and gets delusional and confused at times. Happy Holidays!
Aha ha ha Oscar please, stick to fixing fights and don’t poke the lion , or Triple G will roar
We all no Oscar in his prime would have destroyed GGG. With that said, GGG would make quick work of him today. Make fun of him all you want, but Oscar gave his all in his fights and fought the best. I hope he is returning to do some exhibitions and not an actual fight, he doesn’t owe anyone any more blood.
Oscar and his prime would have destroyed GGG?! Did you just start watching boxing last year or something kiddo? Oscar was a skinny legged welterweight in his prime and triple g is a middleweight who hits like a heavyweight. GGG would have knocked out de la hoya, Trinidad, Whitaker, and JC Chavez back to back on the same night. Weight classes matter dodo bird.
Chris the natural, nah! Trinidad would’ve put a beating on this kid. The other 3, yes.
Of Course, GGG would love that fight. He has no shame in taking on guys 2 weight classes below him or 50-year-old fighters.
Too much coke and DeLa Hoya gets delusional ! And yes it seems out of character for GGG to say what has been stated in this story.
Merry Christmas everyone and have a safe New Year !
15 years ago Oscar was Not a threat to the top middleweights. And at 160+ , Why would he be any threat to ggg ? He should fight Chavez jr.
Let me tell you something right now, if fishnets ever got in the ring with even a past his prime GGG, Golovkin would get his opportunity to kill a man in the ring and would succeed. No way this fight comes off and Oscar needs to shut the hell up. Gena would have knocked him out early when Oscar was in his prime, or the one who lost to Felix Sturm but got a b******* decision win.
Coke is a helluva drug……
Felix sturm beat dents into ODH. At this point the first hard, clean shot by Golovkin would have Oscar saying “no mas”
First: I believe Oscar is serious about coming back. However, I think he’ll actually end up in the Exhibition Circus which is where he belongs. GGG might be past his prime, but even with that said, he’s still a real top tier Middleweight. Oscar didn’t handle being a Middleweight when he was active, so there’s no reason to think he could now.
Second: I have no doubt that GGG loves the idea of this fight. It could be his highest payday ever and paydays are what professional fighters late in their career want. Additionally, Oscar is as risk free a prize fight GGG can get, because on his best day he was no where near a Top 5 Middleweight and I’m not sure he fought in a tougher era. While some of the names have more glitter you have to remember time does that. A prime GGG gives any Middleweight a tough night.
Third and finally: I believe GGG doesn’t like Oscar and would relish hitting him, but ultimately he knows a promotion when he sees one. The bigger the bad blood, the bigger the check.
In the end, part of me hopes this fight happens. GGG deserves the payday, Oscar deserves a beating and I’d hope other retirees get the message that it’s called the hurt business for a reason. To coin a overused phrase these days, “Stay home and stay safe!”
GGG echoes all of our sentiments! Oscar ALWAYS Hating on someone! His miserable divorced self can’t seem to find any happiness, hence why Canelo left his hypocritical promoter. This doesn’t merit any coverage moving forward. In fact, the only thing GGG should offer is to spar that whack job!
Trinidad 1999, I was told dela hoya and canelo are all buddy buddy. Supposedly it was all strategy to get out of DAZN.
GGG is salivating at the opportunity to cause some pain in retaliation for his unfairly getting a L. Objective watchers know he won those fights. I don’t blame him accepting a challenge from the Middle aged Golden Man. Oscar likes the attention so he has to accept the punishment that comes from re-entering the ring at age 47 after being smoked 12 years ago. I really don’t think he will be able to take it but it’s prizefighting and many fighters go in the ring knowing they will lose for much smaller paychecks. In a way Oscar owes GGG because getting a L or a draw severely reduces future purses. Now GGG would love to make the fight so that Golden Boy will bring him a large PURSE that only Oscar could provide.
BOTH fighters need the money. GGG is running out of time and apparently needs someone with a big name to make as much money as he can while he still can. Oscar is competing against Floyd Mayweather to make money. Bothers the hell out of him that Floyd is worth more and makes more money than he does. So here were are. A mismatch being hyped.
At his age, Oscar is no match for GGG, so there would be an agreement beforehand between the two of them (the way Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins did in their second fight), where GGG promises not to hurt Oscar, and Oscar promises to do his part to make it appear competitive. GGG of course will win by a decision and there will be no knockouts. The primary goal: MAKE MONEY!
Hell no and a hard pass on this one for me.
That’s here ‘we’ are.
Who was that BOXER who humiliated ODLH so that he quit fighting and decided to retire?
Caberte Ricardo Avelino, Pacquiao. But apparently Edwin Varero put a beating on him during their sparring in camp. Valero said it himself, he doesn’t want to get up and put the work in.
Delahoya is dreaming thinking that he could beat GGG… Recently, I rewatched Oscar’s fight against Camacho, Oscar was out hustled and out classed us at times was confused due to his frustration … that was years ago… Oscar has gotten both older and slower… simply stating… Oscar should stay retired…
No need of the judges in this one GGG would knock him out in 2 !
Just like Tyson and Jones wasn’t fixed. It was merely pre-arranged.
